During the second and final night of his B-Sides concert in New York yesterday (May 17), Jay Z paid his own tribute to Chinx and addressed the ongoing street violence throughout America.

“A young man got killed in Queens. His name was Chinx,” Jay Z said. “We are seriously under attack like never before. Like never before. Rest in peace to Chinx. And, we still killing each other. We need to understand that we are Kings and Queens. We are Kings and Queens and we are under attack.”

Following the concert, Coke Boys frontman French Montana took to Instagram to thank Jay Z for his words.
